30 Ways to play with the Saints!

Last year, 15 year old Kelly sketched 42 Saints for me for our Saint Scripts Craft Kits.

You can make your flipbook of Saint postcards with the Saint Scripts Craft Kits!

In the spring, I formatted the collection of Saints into little templates for the Kelly Saints Stamps Craft Kit.

Here’s a quick index of the ways to use this one craft kit, Kelly Saints Stamps:


Convert classic games to be Catholic, using the templates to make Saint game pieces!

Connect 4 Game

Guess Who

Pressman Toy Checkers Board Games

The Kelly Saints Stamps templates are formatted in different layouts, different sizes and 2 different backgrounds. They can but cut into individual square stamps or into perfect circles with various sized circle punches…like this one: Martha Stewart Crafts Punch, 1-Inch Circle

Once cut, the Kelly Saints Stamps can be used in so many ways!

that's right...there are some Amazon Affiliate links in this post, in case you don't already have these classic family games. It's true that with your purchase through these links, I could puff up my $6.84 affiliate balance over at Amazon to 10 whole dollars and qualify for a gift card...holding my breath. =)

Feast Day Fun: The Triumph of the Cross

When Jesus’ Body was removed, the Cross was hidden so that followers would not find it.  About 300 years later the True Cross was found!  Constantine the Great had a vision of the Cross which led him to victory.  In response, Constantine had the image of the Cross placed on the shields of his soldiers. Although stolen in 614 by the King of Persia, the Cross was restored in its proper place in the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in 629.
